The last book I have read is I'll Give You the Earth. It is a historical novel set in Barcelona and written by Chufo Llorens. This book was published in 2008 and reached the number two in sales just behind Harry Potter. I'll Give You the Earth is based on a true story set in 1052. The young Marti Barbany runs away from poverty and arrives in Barcelona where he finds a wide range of chances. He begins a journey full of obstacles which are overcome through his social and business skills. Marti Barbany ends up being a distinguished citizen. Love, tragedy and adventure play a leading role in this novel that invites you to get to know countries and cultures in the distant past. (Marina Jiménez, I2)
